Nice array of Isuzus . Garry's truck really adds variety - how much Isuzu can Sydneysiders take..............?

Yes Dave, the blue sedan should be very familiar!! LOL
Greg and his wife very nice people and very welcome into our Group, they met with the original owners and spent quite a while talking about the car, lots more to come I feel!
Great to have one of NSW original cars back into the fold.

That was exactly the idea Kerry "something different" and it was checked out by many looker's, it achieved the idea, many surprised to see it is a tilt tray.

Thanks for the pictures Dave.
There seems to be more early sedans each year. More Gemini's too.
Yes I was lucky no major damage done, but VERY frustrating and disappointing.
I am trying to attach a photo...we'll see if it works.

Ouch.....

I reckon that is going to be the first thing I do when I get home tonight - check my fan blade for cracks.


Cheers.

This incident spoilt the weekend for the whole of Warren's family, after trailering the Wasp down and then for this to happen, NOT GOOD, that is for sure!
On top of the disappointment was the damage to the engine bay as the acid from the battery attacked the very neatly painted engine bay!
Warren is back at it to repair the situation, hopefully not too much damage and a new battery on top!

Yes Dave, it did put a full stop to the weekend, but I did enjoy the drive with all the other Belletts, 117 and Florian on Sunday.
At the moment the Wasp is still strapped to the trailer, waiting on the rain to ease, and some time to become available. I have removed the battery and a new one is on stand by ready to go in, and the fan ( generously supplied by someone on Australia day -- thank you ) has been lightly sanded ready to be repainted. That's all for now though.

Warren, Bob Bailey supplied the replacement fan, FYI.
Thankfully the rain has stopped out here, we have a beautiful sunshine day so far, mowed lawns, fertilised lawns and cleaned up, a good day out here! LOL.
